I am not exactly sure why it took Van Jones longer than Tiger Woods to re-surface on the national stage, but he is in the news today. The NACCP has decided to award Van Jones with its highest honor, the President’s Award at their upcoming Image Awards ceremony. From an editorial today by Benjamin Todd Jealous, the President and CEO of the NAACP: Van Jones also may be the most [...]...

Van Jones, the White House Special Advisor for Green Jobs, has come under withering fire this week from conservatives for past controversial statements and positions that are too numerous to detail at this point. If you aren’t up to date on this, Gateway Pundit has all the details and deserves a special mention for breaking key elements of this story. And Ace (updated link) is in superior form taking on another “conservative” [...]...

With all the ginned up media concern over the potential for tea party fervor to morph into acts of domestic terrorism, just wait until the media catches wind of this virulently anti-government song published by a very prominent political activist (LANGUAGE WARNING): Fuck the government, they never done shit for me For my people their defeat is a victory “The man” wants the whole world under his thumb, Plunders the [...]...

A shorter version of this clip has already made the rounds…Van Jones himself re-tweeted it last week. I wondered why they didn’t post the whole thing and managed to track down a clip from someone who did. They say our message is not clear. We tell them our morals are. These bankster look down on us. They say that we should be rich like them. But everyone would be broke [...]...

I was going to write something up pointing out what a hypocrite Obama is on this, but Al Jazeera has already done it for me: So that’s Gitmo, rendition, drone strikes, the Patriot Act–what else did this progressive paladin promise the left that he’s now reversed himself on? It’s hard to keep track....

CBS’ Charles Cooper on the Van Jones resignation: The White House announced the news in the early hours of Sunday morning. In a statement, Nancy Sutley, Chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, thanked Jones “for his valuable contributions to the Council on Environmental Quality. Over the last six months he has been a strong voice for creating 21st century jobs that improve energy efficiency and utilize renewable [...]...

This summer Van Jones launched his new Rebuild the Dream website. As you can see here (scroll down) it’s a conglomeration of far left groups. From this, Van has put together a “Contract for the American Dream” which is a list of 10 policy items dealing with the economy. His group produced this video about a month ago: It will be interesting to see if there is significant overlap with [...]...

I’ve only listened to it twice, so I can’t really say what I’ll think of it after a few more listens. Here’s my first impression though… This is, strangely, two albums in one. About half the tracks sound like the U2 of All That You Can’t Leave Behind and How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb with a touch of Achtung Baby thrown in. Specifically, I’ll Go Crazy, Get Your Boots [...]...

I had this album, back when there were albums. This was the standout track: She’s a blue light, yes it cannot be denied She will give you back your pride She squeezes, she freezes, she does what she pleases But she says she thinks of others, all the time...

Andrew Breitbart called Jones this in the Daily Caller this morning, and as result has apparently now been banned by the cowardly Huffington Post.

His language was a bit harsh, I’ll grant, but I would add to this that Jones is also a despicable anti-war, anti-American hypocrite. And I don’t make this charge lightly.

You see thanks to the incompetence – or outright bias – of the mainstream media, Jones has never been held accountable for his role in producing and distributing one of the most vile pieces of anti-war, anti-American propaganda produced in the last decade. An album called WarTimes: Report from the Opposition which was narrated by none other than COP-KILLING Mumia Abu-Jamal. In case you missed this when it was first reported here on this blog, here are some snippets:

It’s already indisputable that Van Jones was behind this effort, but take a closer listen to this track. Jump ahead to about the 2:00 mark: is it just me or does that sound like Van Jones himself rapping “f*ck the government…”?

There were (are) a lot of people who disagreed with the decision to go to war with Iraq, but this is far cry from accusing your own country of being the “true terrorists”, a “crack fiend for oil”, and the unforgivable as far as I’m concerned:

“f*ck the government they never done shit for me, for my people their defeat is a victory…”

This is as despicable as it gets, treasonous even. And while I’m not sure whether that is Jones himself singing this, he produced and promoted this album. (And I might add that I am 100% certain that a long-time Green for All staffer was one of the musicians behind this particular track.)

On the basis of this alone, Van Jones simply does not deserve the standing or credibility that he continues to hold on the mainstream left. And he’s a glaring hypocrite for launching such a vicious attack on the foreign policy of the Bush Administration, while staying completely silent over what has largely been a continuation of these policies under Obama.

Andrew Breitbart will easily survive his banishment from the Huffington Post. But I challenge anyone from the mainstream media – just one brave soul – to investigate the facts behind Van Jones and Freedom Fighter records, and to simply report the truth.
